Tsotsi

Tsoti is a crime leader and gang member in Johannesburg. He steals the car of a woman and when helooks in the back seat he realizes that there is a baby. The baby forms a quick bond to the killer and the audience sees the change in the protagonist.

I would highly reccomend this film, while it is a dark film, it is interesting to see the culture of South Africa. It is a unique country that continues to deal with the seperation between the rich and the poor or the black and the white.

Tsotsi lives in slums in a small part of Johannesburg. Unfortunately they live a difficult life which leads to an increased risk in crime . When he feels seperated from his family he turns to the gang as his family.

In the US we live much easier and simpler lives than the characters of Tsosti and I think we need to make more of an effort to help other countries that are working to become more developed. It is sad to see the living conditions of other countries and how in the US we waste the most basic resources that people all over the world would die to have. I reccomend this film to anyone, it is important to be aware of other countries and their difficulties and work to try to help them.
